PE 314.349 4/37 RR\465049EN.doc EN LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL Proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive on the protection of the environment through criminal law (COM(2001) 139 – C5-0116/2001 – 2001/0076(COD)) The proposal is amended as follows: Text proposed by the Commission 1 Amendments by Parliament Amendment 1 Recital 1 a (new) (1a) The European Council on 15-16 October 1999 in Tampere stated in point 48 of the conclusions that it was of the opinion that, with regard to national criminal law, efforts to agree on common definitions, incriminations and sanctions should be focused in the first instance on a limited number of sectors of particular relevance, such as environmental crime. Justification In this way, the European Council confirmed that environmental crime is one of the sectors where the Member States should agree common definitions, incriminations and sanctions in the field of national criminal law. 1 OJ C 180, 26.6.2001, p. 238. RR\465049EN.doc 5/37 PE 314.349 EN Amendment 2 Recital 1 b (new) (1b) Pursuant to Article 175(1) of the EC Treaty, the Council, acting in accordance with the codecision procedure provided for in Article 251 of the EC Treaty, is to decide what action is to be taken by the Community in order to achieve the objectives of environmental policy as referred to in Article 174 of the EC Treaty. Justification Self-explanatory. Amendment 3 Recital 1 c (new) (1c) Pursuant to Articles 29 and 47 of the TEU which state the primacy of the EC Treaty over the EU Treaty, and given the case law of the Court of Justice (for instance in cases C-170/96 and C-333/99) which does not exclude the possibility that necessary measures to guarantee the application and effectiveness of Community law may include criminal penalties. Justification The articles that are referred to state that the EC Treaty prevails over the EU Treaty; criminal penalties are not excluded as measures to be taken to guarantee the application and effectiveness of Community law, which is supported by two cases of the Court of Justice. PE 314.349 6/37 RR\465049EN.doc EN Amendment 4 Recital 1 d (new) (1d) On this basis, any measures may be taken which serve the environmental objectives referred to in Article 174 of the EC Treaty, provided that they do not violate the subsidiarity principle. Justification The environmental objectives referred to in Article 174 of the EC Treaty should be pursued by means of corresponding measures, so long as they are compatible with the subsidiarity principle. Amendment 5 Recital 1 e (new) (1e) The Community has the competence, in the field of environmental protection, to decree that behaviour be subject at national level to criminal sanctions, this being without prejudice to complementary measures in the context of judicial cooperation under the TEU. Justification Indicating the competence of the Community in the area of environmental protection at a national level while acknowledging that complementary measures under the EU Treaty remain possible. Amendment 6 Recital 1 f (new) (1f) This proposal for a directive is a follow-up to existing environmental directives and regulations and merely adds to them an instrument to enforce this legislation more effectively. RR\465049EN.doc 7/37 PE 314.349 EN Justification The instruments currently available to enforce this legislation are not always adequate, and could be enhanced by this proposal. Amendment 7 Recital 1 g (new) (1g) This proposal for a directive is not based on specific provisions of criminal law: the purpose is rather to use criminal- law provisions at national level to pursue an effective environmental policy. Justification The proposal for a directive seeks in general to secure the pursuit of a more effective environmental policy, without going into detail regarding criminal-law provisions. In this context it is important to indicate that criminal-law provisions are to be deployed at national level, to make it clear that this directive is not intended to empower the Community to intervene in national criminal-law provisions. Amendment 8 Recital 1 h (new) (1h) Article 31 of the Treaty on European Union institutes a power to take common action on judicial cooperation: in particular, paragraph (e) provides for ‘progressively adopting measures establishing minimum rules relating to the constituent elements of criminal acts and to penalties in the fields of organised crime’, etc. PE

    Procurement after the entry of the Treaty of Lisbon -Will the new provision of social economic market have an impact on procurement ? Master‟s thesis within Public Procurement Author: Jessica Johansson Tutor: Charlotta Strengberg Jönköping May 2010 Master‟s Thesis in Commercial Law Title: Procurement after the entry of the Lisbon Treaty – will the social eco- nomic market have an impact on procurement Author: Jessica Johansson Tutor: Charlotta Strengberg Date: 2010-05-27 Subject terms: Lisbon Treaty, social economic market, procurement, state aid. Abstract As of 1 December 2009 the Treaty of Lisbon came into force. The Treaty brings along several changes for the physical structure of the EU. There are no changes aimed direct- ly towards procurement, however the Treaty of Lisbon might prove to include changes of major impact. Article 3 (3) NEU includes a change to how the inner market shall be achieved. The Treaty text has gone from an inner market based on competition to in- clude a “social economic market”, however there is no indication of what this means from a procurement perspective. The inner market and procurement had difficulties al- ready before the entry of the Lisbon Treaty. There was arguments as regards to how fair a state could intervene trough public procurement to achieve positive social effects. The CJEU has persistently held that the inner market shall be built by the help of the inner market and competition. The Commission has during the last years started to express a different opinion than the CJEU with regards to low value procurements. The legislators has also shown a great interest for the SME‟s and ensured more leeway for these com- panies to receive help form the member states.

    C 155 E/210 Official Journal of the European Union EN 3.7.2003 (2003/C 155 E/230) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0063/03 by Jules Maaten (ELDR) to the Commission (22 January 2003) Subject: Food Law Enforcement Practitioners (FLEP) 1. To what extent does the Food Law Enforcement Practitioners group (FLEP) influence European Commission policy in food safety matters? In the minutes of the meeting of the Netherlands food inspection service (KvW) on 19 September 2001 in The Hague it was said of the FLEP that: The original aim of the FLEP was to gain an understanding of the organisation of the inspection of food in different countries … Subsequently it involved the exchange of information between countries and advising the European Commission … Mr Wolfs responded that many of the FLEP’s recommendations were taken on board by the European Commission and that the FLEP had a great deal of influence on the programmes coordinated. 2. Is the European Commission aware that it is impossible for the European Parliament and national associations in the food and catering sector to obtain information on the matters being discussed in this informal club? 3. Does the Commission consider that it is healthy for an informal consultative body to have so much influence on its decision-making when the general public, politicians and interest groups are denied access to information about the relevant meetings? 4. Does the Commission intend to make this information more accessible? Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission (24 February 2003) 1. The Commission has had only sporadic correspondence with the Food Law Enforcement Practitioners group (FLEP) and considers this association in the same way as any other association or group with interests in the field of food safety.

Should the language version the reader is seeking not be available, Europarl will propose an alternative. ABBREVIATIONS USED FOR POLITICAL GROUPS PPE-DE Group of the European People’s

  • Declaración Del Parlamento Europeo Sobre La Fibromialgia
    C 46 E/46 ES Diario Oficial de la Unión Europea 24.2.2010 Martes, 13 de enero de 2009 Fibromialgia P6_TA(2009)0014 Declaración del Parlamento Europeo sobre la fibromialgia (2010/C 46 E/07) El Parlamento Europeo, — Visto el artículo 116 de su Reglamento, A. Considerando que cerca de 14 millones de personas en la Unión Europea y entre el 1 y el 3 % de la población mundial total sufre de fibromialgia, un síndrome debilitante que causa dolores crónicos generalizados, B. Considerando que, aunque la Organización Mundial de la Salud reconoció la fibromialgia como enfer­ medad ya en 1992, esta patología no está incluida en el índice oficial de patologías en la UE, lo cual impide a los pacientes obtener un diagnóstico oficial, C. Considerando que las personas que sufren de fibromialgia acuden con más frecuencia al médico de cabe­ cera, son remitidos con mayor frecuencia a especialistas, reciben más certificados de baja por enfermedad y son hospitalizados con mayor frecuencia, lo que genera una carga económica considerable para la UE, D. Considerando que los pacientes de fibromialgia tienen que luchar por llevar una vida plena e indepen­ diente, a menos que tengan acceso a un tratamiento y un apoyo adecuados, 1. Pide al Consejo y a la Comisión que: — desarrollen una estrategia comunitaria sobre la fibromialgia con objeto de que esta patología sea recono­ cido como enfermedad; — contribuyan a la sensibilización sobre esta patología y faciliten el acceso a la información para profesio­ nales y pacientes, apoyando las campañas de la UE y nacionales de sensibilización; — alienten a los Estados miembros a mejorar el acceso al diagnóstico y al tratamiento; — promuevan la investigación sobre la fibromialgia mediante los programas de trabajo del Séptimo Programa Marco de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico y futuros programas de investigación; — promuevan el desarrollo de programas para la recopilación de datos sobre la fibromialgia; 2.
